Nene Leakes Preparing To Leave RHOA, Wants A Talk Show

It looks as though Nene Leakes is slowly weening herself out of the ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ franchise. Remember, she’s ‘Rich B-tch!’

While sitting down for a chat with the New York Post recently, she revealed that she will eventually have to back out of doing ‘Reality TV’ if she wants to be taken seriously as an actress in Hollywood. She also revealed that she would be open to do a ‘Housewives’ All-star edition with some of the other popular housewives like Bethanny Frankel, but her ultimate goal is to have a talk show. No Maury.

Peep some of the excerpts below:

On if she plans to leave RHOA
At some point I do. I love the acting world. So at some point. . . I can’t continue to be a Housewife. At some point, I have to back out.

On whether being a ‘Housewives’ star makes her miss out on acting gigs
Probably. I don’t know that for sure. Just the thought of me being a “Housewife,” they would probably say “Hmmm. We may not want to use her.” Just the whole persona of being a Housewife. The cattiness and the bitchiness and the fighting. People see you as that is who you are.

On whether she would love to do an All-star Housewives edition and who’d she liked to have on the show with her
I would probably do me, Bethenny, I like Jill Zarin even though she’s not there. I think she is everything of New York City. Her accent and everything is just great. I would probably grab Gretchen [Rossi] from “Orange County,” Teresa from “New Jersey,” and we could work it out.

On wanting a talk show and what would be discussed on the show
I would keep it real for the whole hour! Whatever the topic is, I feel I could talk about anything. Politics, men, money, shoes . . . anything. I wouldn’t want to do a ‘Maury Povich’ show. Baby daddy! Who’s your daddy? Who’s your mama? I wouldn’t want to do that kind of show.

It’s just a matter of time. I am here now, because I am supposed to be here. And I guess when it is my time to cross over there, I will be over there. I am not religious, but I am spiritual, honey. My day is coming!

Catch a few flicks of Nene at an Intouch Weekly Party, along with Jennifer Williams, ‘Love & Hip Hop Atlanta’s’ Mimi and Arien in the Gallery.

Necole, I think you should post the video of Timbaland & Missy speaking on Drake’s Aaliyah album.
The interview (with Angie Martinez) is new and came up on Youtube just yesterday.
I know I’ll end up in moderation if I post a link but Y-tube:
Missy Elliot and Timbaland speak on feelings about the new Drake & Aaliyah Album

She needed at least 4 more inches on that dress for it to be age appropriate. So did Arian for her shorts. But I love Nene, her wit is to die for lol. Shes gonna be competing with Wendy for daytime ratings if she does get a show and she’ll realize success there isn’t as easy as it seems. Its not just talking. But go Nene girl…

One thing about this woman is that she has a great business sense… She is all about branching out and wanting to do a lot of things to become richer! I have to respect her business hustle! You go Nene!

I dnt like Nene, even all that extraness she does is for show, it doenst make black women look any better, i just dont like catty women in general

and her character on both Glee and The New Normal are the same thing, loud and sassy except shes kind of a golddigger on the New Normal since she plays the secretary to one of the gay men, but overall that role will get tiresome at some point

Me three. I don’t watch Glee but I heard/read about her character. I watched The New Normal and sure enough she was acting the same way she acts on RHOA. I was hoping for something different. Cattiness will only go so far then people will tire of it. Anyone remember New York?

I love Nene outside of the show, and love she on her hustle tip, but on the show she is just… beyond words. She thinks she’s better than people now that she got those “Trump Checks” and those new teef. I feel like if Bethenny (RHONY) can have her own show, why can’t Nene, but although I suipport Nene hustling, if her majority fanbase feel like I do, how will she get the ratings?

All I know is that if Nene leaves then there wont be a RHOA and if she gets a talk show then it is truly the end of days. Sorry but Nene is too kuntry and klownish and koonish. The three Ks that Hollyweird likes other than Kardashians.

Thank you! I’ve been knowing these shows were scripted and set up. If you have any doubt, look at the background folk on that mess Love & Hip Hop. The women cuss and get foul and the people in the background just sit there like wooden statues. You can’t go to a restaurant and act a fool without drawing attention to yourself and maybe getting the cops called on you. And Nene only divorced Gregg to protect her assets when he got sued. They still live together and are a couple. She was never with that Italian dude like they’d tried to make it appear.

Phaedra had the right idea. The funeral business is big money. People die everyday.
Kandi’s toyline is also doing very well.
Death & sex will never stop so I don’t see what is more fruitful than that lol.

Another one who has been rewarded for bad behavior and being a bully. SMDH!! I guess it will continue on these shows since the ones that act badly are the ones that are eventually rewarded. So sad the way these women sell their souls for fame.

I’m starting to think that being nice is for suckers. I have been nice for as long as I can remember & it seems I have nothing to show for it but a long list of people who used me. Why are good people always getting sh*tted on while the mean, evil, bullies, gold diggers, etc stay winning? I mean has the world changed completely & there’s no room for nice people anymore? It feels like nice is played out & being a **** gets you further in life. It’s like survival of the fittest in this dog eat dog world. Maybe if I can’t beat em I should join em.

NeNe needs to…
~Understand that RHOA is all she has…
~Take her serious as a actress? The only roles she gets are modeled after herself…She’ll never get a role playing anything other than NeNe…
~Does she not realize that she is shucking and jiving for these shows that she is on? Its modernday baffonary (sp?) at its best…
~What qualifies her to give out advice? Who really does talk shows these days? Maury? The format of talk shows are modeled off of the View..do we REALLY need another view type of show?

Before Nene was on RHOA she was already an actress. She is a member of SAG(Screen Actors Guild) from being on The Parkers and Girlfriends. The persona she has on RHOA is not who she really is and was just for the show. You can tell that it worked.

You are correct, NeNe was on these shows…nothing big…but really if your an extra in a show or movie you can get a SAG card.

And do u really think NeNe is acting on RHOA? Girl boom…she may have been a little extra because of the camaras but that is who NeNe is to the core..which is another reason why she’s a shucker and jiver…she puts it on for these hollywood white folks…white folks in the hollywood like black shuckers and jivers bc they can play the sterotype that they put on black women…and really I can’t be mad at hollywood…the type of behavior we display as women fuels these sterotypes…

*side note* Im not racist or anything, but some things are BLACK and WHITE…Im not generalizing white folks or black women for that matter IJS….

I think her idea of an “all star” housewives would be cute and I’d watch. They all live in different cities so they wouldn’t interact or fight and we could just see them each doing their thing then maybe they could get together at central locations or go to each others events to support. I like NeNe and although don’t agree with how she’s handled all of her conflicts I admire her hustle. I love the idea of her having a talk show as well – she can do that fake nicey nicey bs persona that some hosts need to make their shows entertaining.

and Im glad she wants to leave RHWOA its time for all of them to go. we need a new cast of women that are unknown and fresh to this reality tv world so then they will be real and funny like how the show was the first season when all of them where nobodys.

If Nene leaves RHOA the show is done, end of story. Not rocket science. If the show goes on, its because the network is being really really really hopeful, but it will flop. Nobody cares about Kim Z and Troy and her babies and ex sugar daddy, nobody cares about Cynthia and oldie. And who else is on the show???? Yeah. So… I would watch Nene on a talk show I think it would be very entertaining, and would get her out of the loud, sassy black woman trend that I see her going down. If she has the right people on her team she can continue to do well.

Now as for the shoes… pleading the 5th! (: Have a positive Wednesday all! Smile.

Honestly, NeNe was barely on the show last season, and the season went just fine…RHOA is not NeNe Leaks..there are other interesting…drama-ish things happening on the show. I don’t watch it for her bc she makes a fool out of herself with the loud talking, sista girl attitude she gives off…I never watched the 1st seson of RHOA but everyone I talked to said how cool NeNe was, so when I tuned in the 2nd season, it was a different NeNe…and I didn’t like her…no love lost if she left the show.

It’s true. I have watched RHOA from the jump and NeNe was my favorite then. When season 2 started NeNe was a totally different person. The popularity she received from season 1 blew her head up big time and she’s been a catty “B” ever since. I wish her the best. Hope she is saving as much as she is spending. and her side line ventures pay off for her because Hollywood is NOT Atlanta.

See NeNe is smart enough to leave a reality tv show once you start expanding your brand!!!!!!!!!! You don’t stay on reality tv (it’s not a real job), if anything it’s a stepping stone for reality tv stars to build their careers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
